• 2024: The year of the OpenStreetMap vector maps

  There is a beta of Organic Maps for Linux. Check out bottom of this page: https://organicmaps.app/ I would still want to to know if I can selfhost something of similar, low complexity in my home network. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Apple Maps wrongly lists restaurant permanently closed, costing owner thousands

  I live in a country in Europe where roaming is prohibitively expensive, so use offline OpenStreetMap abroad a lot, with different apps, mostly https://organicmaps.app. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Quairading shire erects signs telling travellers to ignore Google Maps

  Https://organicmaps.app/ is well suited for (completely) offline routing. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Osmapp – A Universal OpenStreetMap App

  Personally I am using [organicmaps](https://organicmaps.app/) which is using OpenStreetMap data, and it works really well. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Why do maps apps have essentially no caching?

  Organic Maps is offline until it needs to download updated map information from Open Maps data. https://organicmaps.app/ Search just finds whatever matches sorted by distance so it may not fit one's needs. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• The Official MTA App

  I live and swear by Citymapper[0] for all cities that it supports. No other app I've used has been as good for public transport as Citymapper has been. I really hope one day one of these city transport organisations either buy it out, push for it, or license their tech. [0] https://citymapper.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 13 days ago

• WWC Sydney

  I’ve had an easy time getting around in Sydney by public transport using Citymapper. Source: 10 months ago

• Am I weird?

  We do! Citymapper often will tell you what door to get on for the best exit, depending on whether there's data available for that journey. Source: 10 months ago

• Google maps should add a feature for train or bus trips to have your phone vibrate a few stops before yours, thereby allowing you to take a quick nap without worrying about missing it.

  Citymapper does this really well. It also tells you where to sit on the train to be nearest the most convenient exit at your stop. Source: 12 months ago

• DART commuters, how far do you have to walk each day?

  But by way of encouragement maybe, the area near my office—off Irving Blvd and Medical District Dr—is not pedestrian friendly by any stretch. Google Maps will give you worthless, even dangerous bike routes. Citymapper is a bit better, but really what I found paid off was spending some time studying maps, aerial and street-level imagery, then a weekend morning doing some testing and exploration.
